a turban all seats were exempt from the safety matter but since sikh women don't usually wear and tear of it i made it hard for law enforcement to identify a sikh woman from a non sikh woman so in the name of fairness to all women for except for the rule. but indian women's issues over the helmets extends beyond just the sikh community women of all backgrounds in delhi opt not to wear a helmet but this isn't about religious duty this is about plain old vanity on the me and i don't like wearing a helmet because when i go for a party is it spoils my makeup and my hair. experts say indian women routinely don't make safety a priority crewmen are used to neglecting them so. we were in a program to do it themselves so if there is a problem. if there's any health crisis with the man and the woman of the house then the man is taken to

incorrect the new proposal is to use the phrase unhealthy wait on new york resident to weigh in to chew the fat on the issue but people in the big apple. the u.k.'s national institute for health and clinical excellence has issued a guidance suggesting that the word obese might be too upsetting and derogatory to use is a case of political correctness gone mad this week let's talk about that last forty films is that when you were still heavy and someone called you obese with that offend you. been called worse you know what's worse calling someone obese or calling someone fat. the same thing over. so should we not address the facts because it actually you can dress up like that's just a race a toy or. just better things we don't but it's bad for people it caught at least the heart trouble and a diary because for choke. who is in charge of deciding when

a word of slang and what n. word is the proper term will i mean you don't really want the government to be in charge of that that's for sure you have anything yeah i mean the government shouldn't be in the in the in the game of policing what you say certainly of what you think you know what if someone called you whitey if somebody called me why do you have so the property accurate but siri but you would you be offended no so why do people take offense to some words and not other words. probably because they care about what other people think it's an insecurity so we should just stop caring about what other people think and then the whole peacekeeping will go away it's not like you should start caring what other people think you should start caring more about what you think i think it's matters in the context that it's used like if you look at somebody and say damn they're obese that's in that context i think it's derogatory i think the say the word obese or say obesity in general and when you

talk about a condition is it would not be derogatory just a statement of of a problem in a society maybe if we. every this word people would feel oh ok maybe a little bigger. regular people so there's no problem and work if you want think about it exactly like what are we afraid to call it drug user or drug user. this isn't big where we should escape from the problems for the problem. for a bit whether or not you think the word obese is derogatory the bottom line is it's also a medical condition and simply avoiding the word is not going to make the issue go away. now we're living in a time of huge protests all around the world right now but here is news of one in russia which didn't have many people but did have a rather surprising visitor
